Tacocat were great, but I'm pretty sure one of them is a dude. Sad the band is on indefinite hiatus last I heard.

Sanction can mean a punishment or an authorization.

Came up in a DND game where a devil's contract said the players crossing the region would be sanctioned, or something like that. Players thought it meant they had permission, fine print said they would be punished.

Instead of a grid of apps on your home screen that you tap to open, and then tap and swipe and tap some more, you’d simply tell an AI agent to do something, and then it’d do it for you.

I don't understand why you would want an "Agent" to do stuff for you. This whole thing is just built on the assumption that people are helpless idiots. Which, maybe has some truth to it, but I'd rather spend billions on education than this slop.

Being ruled by the UK would probably be an improvement

Reminded of when Thanos says "you should have gone for the head"

Modern social networks are pretty trash, but I don't have an iPhone so this is a non starter.

Even so, I'd rather just... text my friends.

Read.

Hang out with partner or friend. That usually means reading, watching something, playing a game. Sometimes just lounging near each other.

Play video games.

...what? Poor joke or failure at math?

Jury nullification is still a thing. If someone smashed up some waymo property, find them not guilty.

I really would prefer our laws had teeth and the leadership of Airbnb and uber had had their lives ruined.

Windows is pretty bad and their management are soulless husks.

They could rip out all the AI garbage and I wouldn't trust that they learned anything. Fuck 'em.

Linux is free and meet all my needs.

You'd think more libertarian types would be more in favor of walkable cities, biking, and such.
